But she was quite choosy, as she chose which ones she liked and simply threw others to the ground.

One woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Lincolnshire Live: "My husband and I were dropping off some bottles at the bottle bank when the woman in question walked straight to the charity bins and started pulling clothes and bags out, looking at each piece.

"Any she didn't like were dumped on the floor.

A woman has been seen stealing from a Boston clothes bank.

"It's not the first time it's happened. The last time we saw this happen, we reported the group of men to the police. Not sure if any action was taken.

"It's a regular occurrence there unfortunately. We went back this morning and all the clothes were dumped on the floor and wet."

The pictures were initially posted on 'Boston the people' Facebook page and many people were not happy about it.

She dumped clothes she didn't want on the ground

One woman said simply: "That is just awful."

Lincolnshire Police understand that these bins were full to capacity and a number of people were seen to be rifling through them.

A spokesperson said: “Stealing from a charity is unscrupulous. It is possible that the charity would miss out on money that would otherwise go to their worthy cause.

"We are investigating the matter and understand that the bins were full so people left their donations near to the bins.

"This is when a number of individuals took the opportunity to look through the donation bags. It is not clear what, if any items were stolen but we would urge anyone who sees any such activity to report it on 101.”
